Strimling & Harriman on competing hospital plans

(NEWS CENTER) -- This week, democrats in the Legislature unveiled their own plan to pay the MaineCare debt to the State'shospitals on the same day Gov. Paul LePage brought his plan before a committee.

Both plans would give hospitals the $185,000,000 they'reowed by the State. But, the plans differ in how state government comes up with the money -- and how it's payed off.

We talk with NEWS CENTER political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about the pros and cons of each plan; as well as the latest on the push to make lists of people who have concealed weapons permits inaccessible to the public.
